I have a feeling that Protestant bashing threads will not be tolerated as well. and given the reaction from the FR community, I would say that would be applauded by Catholics and non Catholics alike.
Jim said "Whatever" to me, and possibly in response to me saying that the RF has been good to me as a resource. I literally google "Free Republic + Mormonism + [some issue]" when I find myself in need of resources for debating or evangelizing LDS, and as a result I'll find hundreds of threads filled with debates, counter arguments from both sides, going back years, with websites, you tube videos, massive quotations from primary sources, etc etc.
Ironically, conflict and debate probably drives up traffic to the RF in the first place. Is debate from the RF going to be banned from here on forward?
